		<title>Census - RIA Data Loading Benchmarks</title>
	</head>
	<body>
		<p>
		To be guided through the various benchmarks and learn about
		each test use the "Guide Me" mode.  If you just want to run the
		tests on your own, use the "Navigator" mode.
		</p>
		<p>
		The goal of this application is to demonstrate various methods
		of loading data in RIAs and see how those methods impact
		performance, bandwidth, and latency. These benchmarks aim to be
		honest and unbiased. Thus they are open source and anyone can
		submit patches to have new tests added or to have the existing
		tests improved.
		</p>
		<p>
		Make sure you disable FireBug when running these benchmarks.
